rHS INTERSTATE coMmEEcs BILL.
Come OF the Prcvisions OF the L,v-coo.
ference OF Railroad
Men.

The law "to regulate commorce ;,
more commonly known as the inter.
state commerce bill, which was passad
oy Congress at its session lust ended
goes into effect the 9Th of April. One
oi It's rost important provisions is that
no railroad. steamboat company. or
other transportation line shall charge
more Tor carrying freight short dis
lance than for carrying it long one.
for instance, the Petersburg road.
under the present law, can charge more
Tor transporting freight from here TO
Petersburg between which points there
is no competiton) than from here to
Augusta, Ga, where there are com
petlng lines. Under the new law more
cannot he charged but there is nopro-
vision that charges shall not be as
great.
WHAT THE LAW PROVIDES,
The bill provides for the appoint
ment by the President by and with the
advice and consent Of the Senate. OF
five commissioners, who shall see that
the law is properly executed. Not more
than three of these shall belong to the
same political party, and those first APP
pointed shall hold Office for two. three.
four, five, and six years respectively,
the term OF each TO be designated by
the Fresidcnt Their successors shall
be appointed for terms of six years, ex-
cept those appointed to fill unexpired
terms made vacant by death, resigna-
ton, or removal The commissioners
are not to be in any way interested in
any transportation line, and shall not
engage in any other business. vocation.
or employment. They receive salary
of $500 per annum, and are autho-
rized to employ clerk at salary OF
50, 500 and other assistants if needed.
In orderto comply with the provisions
of this law IT is necessary that all Of the
common carriers shall make an entirely
new set Of rates. This is an onerous
task and viii keep the transportation
agents of the various lines in the country
busy from now until operations under
the new law are begun revising their
schedule Of charges.

mon CounciD should be adopted by the
Board of Aldermen.
Judge Christian said that he was not
prepared to vote intelligently on the

Gil, i'll which body both sides were re-
presented by counsel, and he thought
il would be improper for the Board to

ferred to the Committee on Commerce,
